Not Just Music Podcast

This episode is deeply important and special for everyone here at the Not Just Music Podcast. This year, we are joining the whole country in recognizing a huge milestone: 100 years of officially celebrated Black History. This moment is much more than just an anniversary; it marks a century since the start of what was called Negro History Week, created by Dr. Carter G. Woodson. This has since grown into the annual, month-long celebration we know now. The meaning of this 100th year is enormous. It is a chance to look at and honor the lasting and essential contributions of Black Americans—contributions that have shaped every part of American life, from science and books to government, art, and, of course, music. This celebration is a powerful statement about the deep strength shown through many generations, a strength born from hard times but grown with hope and resolve. Also, this centennial allows us to truly enjoy the richness of Black culture—a culture that is energetic, new, and strongly important worldwide. For us at the Not Just Music Podcast, this is a very personal and necessary moment, fitting perfectly with our goal to find the deeper cultural and historical stories behind the music we share. It is an honor to dedicate this episode to a century of history, legacy, and the bright future it keeps inspiring.

Welcome to the podcast! Today, we're talking about Oscar Micheaux, the true start of Black movie-making. He was the first big African-American director to make a long movie. Micheaux (born 1884) didn't like the bad ways Black people were shown in movies made by white people. He was a writer who became a director so he could tell honest stories about how complex Black life really was. His most important movie, "The Homesteader" (1919), is seen as the first long movie written and directed by a Black person. This started the "race film" business, making movies just for Black audiences in segregated theaters. Micheaux's work was bold. He fought stereotypes, talked about tough subjects like lynching, and was a great businessman, making over 40 films (like Body and Soul and Within Our Gates). His importance is huge: he created a whole industry, gave Black actors chances, and proved how powerful it is to tell your own story, even when things are difficult.

It's Black History Month, and the same famous people always pop up: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Muhammad Ali. These people are hugely important—they were key to the civil rights movement and changed the world. But their fame often hides the thousands of other amazing people who made history. Their stories matter, but when they are the only stories we hear, we get a thin, incomplete picture of Black success and struggle. The truth is, Black history is not just about a few heroes. It's a huge story with many parts, including inventors, artists, scientists, teachers, activists, and everyday people whose bravery and work were often not written down or were erased on purpose. It goes far beyond the Civil Rights Movement of the mid-1900s, covering every time period from ancient times until today. So, who are the people we should talk about? Who deserves to be known just like the famous giants? Let's talk about the doctors, the pilots, the mathematicians, and the quiet community leaders whose work set the stage for change but whose names rarely make the news. It’s time to look past the usual names and see the whole range of Black achievement.

This Homeisode covers the tragic death of Vivian Strong, a 14-year-old Black girl fatally shot by a white Omaha police officer, Darrell E. Cairo, on June 24, 1969, in North Omaha, Nebraska. Her killing exposed deep-seated racial injustice and police brutality, becoming a pivotal moment for the city. Cairo claimed he shot Strong, who was unarmed, after she ran from a group of teenagers he suspected of being "prowlers" near the Sacred Heart Convent. Aftermath and Legacy Strong's death immediately sparked outrage, leading to large-scale protests and civil unrest against systemic racism and discriminatory policing. Despite being charged with manslaughter, Officer Cairo was acquitted at trial, deepening community distrust in the justice system. Vivian Strong’s case remains a key catalyst for the local Civil Rights Movement, driving sustained efforts for police accountability and racial equity in Omaha. The incident is also contextualized by the increasing poverty and segregation in North Omaha at the time, and media coverage was criticized for being biased against the victim and protesters.

This Homeisode discusses the killing of 15-year-old Latasha Harlins and its reflection in the film Menace II Society. On March 16, 1991, Latasha Harlins, an African American girl, was fatally shot in the back of the head by store owner Soon Ja Du at Empire Liquor Market after being wrongfully accused of shoplifting. Harlins was holding $2 for orange juice. Du received no jail time, fueling deep racial tension between the Korean American business community and Black residents of South Central L.A. This injustice was a major catalyst for the 1992 Los Angeles riots. The 1993 film Menace II Society captures this atmosphere of mistrust. In a pivotal scene, the character O-Dog is aggressively confronted by a Korean store owner demanding, "Hurry up and buy, motherf*****!" This dialogue mirrors the real-life hostility. While the fictional scene ends in hyper-violent double murder and robbery, unlike Harlins' quiet tragedy, it powerfully reflects the pervasive feeling of being profiled and devalued. Latasha Harlins remains a symbol of systemic injustice. Her death and Du’s lenient sentencing proved to many that the justice system failed Black youth. Menace II Society used the "Hurry up and buy" dynamic to immortalize the explosive racial tension of the early 90s, validating community grievance and transforming the Harlins case into a cultural touchstone that helped prime the city for the riots.
